Great ScopeI have this scope mounted on a CZ 452 Military Trailer 22LR. My son shoots this combo in the NRA Youth Hunter Education Challenge competition. Scope is very clear , maintains zero and consistently produces dime size groups at 75yrds with this gun/scope combo.

I would love to have one of these in every rifle I own!I have no complaints about my vortex! I have the diamondback 3-9x40 on my predator gun! It is awesome in the daytime and when it's dark it gathers awesome light! It rides in my truck and I never have to adjust it. It holds its own for sure! I would defiantly recommend to anyone and give it 5+ stars all day long...

Exceptional clarity for a great price.I bought this Optic for my wife's .308. I zeroed the optic and on her second hunt she dropped a doe at 200yds in it's tracks. She couldn't stop bragging about how amazing the clarity was in the optic. You have a huge fan and a happy husband who will be getting his own shortly. and the even better part is the amazing warranty. Well done Vortex!

Very good low budget scopeI searched for a couple of months for a low power scope that would ft my needs. I have a similar Nikon scope. The Diamondback is cheaper. The reticle is more precise. Both scopes have BDC reticles. I prefer the Vortex. The viewing area around the reticle is more open and the reticle itself is less confusing when you trying to make those quick reference long distance shots. This scope is definitely worth more than the asking price. Vortex has set the bar high for scopes under $300 with the Diamondback.

Would this scope work well on a .270 shooting any where from 100 to 500 yards and still have a clear image of a coyote or deer. Does if have mil dots

Asked by: Dead_on_impact

Hello, Dead_on_impact.
The Vortex Diamondback 3 - 9 x 40 Riflescope has a field of view of 44.6-14.8 feet/100 yards. The Dead-Hold BDC reticle has a customized dot design that helps eliminate guesswork on hold-over and windage corrections. Good for any hunting or shooting at varying ranges where estimating hold-over would be a concern. Argon purging puts waterproof and fogproof performance on the agenda, and advanced fully multi-coated optics raise an eyebrow when crystal clear, tack-sharp images appear in the crosshairs.
